UNIQA Versicherung AG (Liechtenstein)’s Post

Last Friday I spoke about some regional heroes - today the focus moves to those champions who have been coordinating the requirements of large complex businesses, navigating local challenges, local regulations, and also in many cases challenges with their own local IT teams. Stuart Cameron - Working in the London Market which is very different from the continental insurance market, especially as Generali is not a market leader. He has always remained positive, entertaining and pragmatic to ensure the UKB is well represented within the design phase. The collaboration between the various functions has been brilliant. (he did have some help from Gilles Meier - but I do not want to give too much credit 😉 ) Vincent Fleutre & Salman Tariq - If we could use the term best practice about all functional engagement, communication of changes, focus of defect resolution and general awareness approach of AGORA. These guys are stars - pushing, challenging but always first with solutions, capacity and realistic expectations. I look forward to improving AGORA with these guys onboard. Next we move to Germany Joselito Fernandez - who is a recent joiner to Generali Global Corporate & Commercial! What a baptism of fire, just joined and you have the fantastic opportunity to coordinate the German effort for the largest and most complex project in GC&C history? Not only that, you on board Austria midway through the project. Brilliant effort! Finally our largest entity in GC&C - GC&C Italy! For me, this has been a fantastic opportunity to meet more people, understand the way our Italian business works, and understand some fundamental challenges that we face in a very complex work environment. Well done to Claudia Meroni and Kim Pacini who are pushing collaboration, breaking down siloes, and supporting a new way to work. It is great to see the interactions of all functions of the policy lifecycle come to life through this project. We now enter the final week of the project before the release. I do not know what this will bring, but rest assured - My team and I will face them head-on, with determination to overcome anything and everything that might stand in the way of releasing AGORA on time, on budget, on plan! #finalpush #businesschange #letsmakeadifference #smallchangesbigimpact #servicewithexcellence

From June 11th to 14th, our top executives from 17 countries gathered in Bucharest for our International Forum, reflecting on the most successful year in UNIQA International's history. This forum was not only a time to recognize our accomplishments but also to explore our future Key Strategic Initiatives enabled by our unique group-wide collaboration model, the #commUNIties.    In 2023, we achieved double-digit premium growth in #CEE and contributed over 50% to the Group's overall profit. Since acquiring AXA in Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as launching the regional SEE project, we have ascended to become the fifth largest insurer in the region serving more than 17 million customers.  Together as one strong team, we have transformed UNIQA Insurance Group into a truly #customer-centric organization with three customer-focused business models - #Retail, #Corporate & #Affinity and #Bancassurance - with dedicated board mandates in every single country. Keeping with UNIQA’s never-complacent spirit, the forum also shifted its focus towards the future: Keynotes & discussions on how to further optimize our business as usual (BAU) while giving special attention to specific Key Strategic Initiatives (“Non-BAU”), our accelerators for future growth. This goes hand in hand with our strong emphasis on #peopledevelopment - the basis for tomorrow’s success!    With this ambitious approach, we aim to be among the frontrunners and creators of our industry, embracing the disruptions and changes ahead! I am already looking forward to seeing you in Budapest in 2025 - and hopefully in Kyiv in 2026!    #UNIQA #Transformation #Teamplay #Innovation  UNIQA Insurance Group UNIQA Polska UNIQA osiguranje u BiH UNIQA osiguranje Hrvatska UNIQA osiguranje Srbija UNIQA osiguranje Crna Gora UNIQA Bulgaria UNIQA Ukraine UNIQA Asigurari SA UNIQA CZ UNIQA SK UNIQA Biztosító SIGAL UNIQA SIGAL UNIQA - Kosova UNIQA Versicherung AG (Liechtenstein) UNIQA Re

Presumably Direct Line Group is not trading up closer to Ageas Group possible offer price of c.230p because i) no offer has been made, ii) the relatively high equity proportion at c.57% of the whole, and iii) lack of compelling potential counterbidders (only Aviva and AXA stand out from the list below, (the former might have market share issues and the latter is remediating UK motor) while some are clearly non-starters, eg NFU Mutual and RSA). Presumably there will be more detail to come on synergies if an offer is made, but those who own DLG for a turnaround in its performance and end-markets may not wish to see this diluted in a much more diversified group (as of FY23 operating profit, 47% was earned in Asia and 42% in Belgium). Good to see some potential M&A to bring focus to value in the sector...(Chart below is Top 10 UK motor insurers, source: NimbleFins)
